Try a tank of fresh gas with Chevron Techron in it. Do the shock treatment. All Honda's are cold blooded. If the system is just a little gummy this should wash it through with out having to disassemble and clean the carbs. Chevron Techron can be purchased at most auto stores. It is also sold under the name "Yamaha ring free fuel additive" but it will cost double.

Hi Jerold:
I'm guessing it's a 4 cycle gas motor.
That means there will be oil in the bottom end and in cold weather that usually means increased resistance.
Also, gas does not vaporize as easily so it all adds up to hard starting.
My suggestions:
- Check your owners manual and go with the lightest oil for the temp. Probably 10 - 30
- Make sure your spark plug is in very good condition.
- Have the battery fully charged
- If possible, Keep it in a heated garage or pre-heat it before starting.
- A squirt of starter spray into the carb will help however I try to avoid relying on that.
Hope this helps.

Its a 4 stroke trail bike. They never like to start when its cold. Just make sure the plug is good and make sure the choke is actually working. Other than that, kick it until you get mad, then kick it some more and it will eventually start.

Cold weather starts are assurred when you leave a trickle charger on the battery the whole time it sits in the garage. I would also have the battey tested to be sure it is up to snuff, and change th spark plug to a somewhat hotter one in the winter. Some folks even use high test gas in winter to assist in quick starts. If all of these suggestions fail you, get a can of starter fluid and squirt a little into the air filter just before you hit the start.

You can choose between 3 types the normal the cold and the hot (performance) sparkplugs. The normal for medium temperatures is the best, the cold is suited for bellow 5º C temps. And the hot is for hot weather and performance usage.
